ready to go round the clock chunking for stripers as soon as they show up in

NORTH FORKGreenport:Peconic Star II (631-
289-6899):Capt.
Dave Brennan and the Peconic Star II
sail from Greenportlocated 24 miles east of
Riverhead and 7 miles west of Orient Point. Berthed at The Railroad Dock on
3rd street, the vessel is located only steps away from Long Island
Railroad's historic Greenport Station/ Maritime Museum and the Shelter
Island Ferry's North Terminal with many shops,
restaurants, delicatessens and hotel all within a short
walking distance. Parking at the dock is free, safe and
plentiful. The Peconic Star II
starts with the fluke in May and will switch over to porgies sometime in the
middle or end of July where they hammer porgies the rest of the season until
the switch over to blackfish sometime in late October or early November.

For the family,
Greenport and its surrounding area have many things to offer. History is
everywhere on the North Fork. A once famous whaling port, Greenport still
maintains its charm and nautical flavor and is well known for its fine old
homes, shopping for antiques, nautical items, art and handicrafts, as well
as touring historical sites and local museums.

The North Fork is one of
the most well know fishing area on Long Island, and the Peconic Star III
certainly shares its fame. Measuring 90 feet in length, and USCG certified
to carry 150 passengers, it is the North Fork's largest, fastest and most
modern supercruiser'. equipped with
the latest electronic & safety navigation and
communication gear, Radar, Sonar, fish finders, safety equipment and
personal conveniences, plus a dynamic super, sound system that provides
quality background music for the relaxation, or professional DJ-style music
for the listening and dancing on moonlight cruises and excursions. Add to
that, a galley offering tasty snacks and ice cold beverages, a heated cabin
for the cooler days, and a spacious sundeck for unsurpassed views of our
fabulous scenery, and you have what many feel is the most innovative party
boat on Long Island.

After sailing on the
Peconic Star II,
we're sure you will agree that there is no finer fishing vessel. Should they
ever get around to giving awards for the friendliest and most helpful crew
aboard a party boat, the crew on the Peconic Star II will get the blue
ribbon for sure. Forever preoccupied with making every trip a pleasant and
personal adventure, one not soon forgotten; the crew leaves nothing to
chance, from instructions for the novice and the rigging up, to cleaning
your catch ready for the skillet. The crew insures that not only the
fishermen enjoy their trip, but the families as well' so bring the kids and
Mom along' it's always fun and a big thrill for them. Don't forget the
camera, and if you don't fish, come along for a delightful ride and enjoy
the scenic delights of Long Island's last outpost of natural beauty.

In case you did not know it, they added a
second boat the Peconic Star Express (see below), a beauty of 80 foot and

150 passenger and larger than the main fluke
boat you see in the reports. It is for all intent and purposes'a brand new
boat condition wise and looks wise. The day trips are for bass & bluefish
with $95 adults, $85 seniors and $55 for kids 12 and under. As for the night
trips for the special 25 person maximum allowed for bass it is $125.
Starting June 7, they will not fish on this vessel Monday or Tuesdays as
they run Block Island excursions leaving Greenport at 8 a.m. and leaving
Block Island at 5 p.m. Monday and Tuesdays. This means you can
stay over night at Block Island and come home Tuesday evening on the 5 p.m.
boat. This also means you do not have to drive through the Hamptons to get
to the Block island Ferry. You actually save time by driving the shorter
route to Greenport and taking the Peconic Star Express to Block Island.
